How can I find my auto zone W2 forms?

I am no long employed with auto zone but I can not access my tax forms through the website since my departure. The manager says that is the only way. Does anyone have experience with this or are they pulling my leg?

Your past employer must report your wages to the IRS when they file their tax return so the IRS will have record of it at some point.

As a last resort you may file a form 4852. Form 4852 is a substitute wage and tax statement that you can use as an absolute last resort. Form 4852 should only be filed if you can’t get your actual W-2 form by the tax filing deadline date of April 15th. It can’t be used simply as a convenience for the employee, as opposed to trying to track down your employer and receiving your W-2 form.
